Resentment.

So I was having a conversation with a friend about this last night, so I thought I'd ask here, see if I can't get something interesting out of it. I kind of doubt it... but anyways.

Did/do you resent your virginity?
I did never did, but I wasn't really in a position to, I had sex at a young age so I pretty much went from not really interested to no longer a virgin. (Oooo look at me bragging. Fuck you, I'm not, it just is.) So whenever conversations come up like this I never really know what to think. I know a few of my friends do or did, but at my age it starts to make sense to. It's the norm or whatever to have lost it at this point.

So, what do you guys think?

elvikun:
I'd really like to meet that friend you have those conversations with. That would be fun. Wonder what superpower he (?) has.
Or maybe it's the "I have this friend and..." scenario, where you just don't want to admit you get the ideas all alone?

I didn't really have the chance to resent it either, but as I've said before, it's hard to really care unless you get all hyped and anxious about it. Which many peple actually are and it's at least partially caused by the current "culture".
If you resent virginity, you basically resent yourself for not being able to lose it, which may lead to depression or frustration. So I guess it's better to say people are "depressed" about it. Low self-esteem. Bad, bad.

Goldfrapp:
Metro: Your really obsessed about this virginity thing, aren't you?

OT: I wish I saved myself a few more years, but oh well. Better to be done with it as fast as possible, eh?

metro.:
This is a different friend from last time.
And yes Elvi, they actually exist, the conversations I have with myself are much less profound, and equally as fun.

Gold it was actually her that brought it up, I really wasn't expecting it at all. Elvi, you make a good point, I guess if you're not confident enough to like yourself regardless of your sexual status that's a bit of an issue. I think that now it's tied to status, the more sex you have = how cool you are. Which honestly I think is a bit silly, there's not a real way to define "cool". Or swagger or whatever you wanna call it.

Why did you wanna save yourself? I'm curious.

TiYlER:
I don't really resent being a virgin. I can have sex at anytime, but you're only a virgin until the first time you have sex. Not that I think virginity is really worth holding onto, but I'd at least like to make sure my first time isn't just some half-assed, half-remembered fling that was brought upon by ingesting too much alcohol at a party.
